What causes sneezes to sound different?

Sometimes my sneezes make a honking noise, sometimes just forceful air, and rarely almost a squeak. I’m mostly curious about the honking. What causes sneezes to make the sound they do?

It has to do with the amount of air that travels to the nose vs your mouth. You nose, mouth and lungs actually form a sort of instrument. Like a trumpet.

Some people sort of block a sneeze. Atleast some people I know. I think that this is not healthy. A huge amount of force is created and needs to vent from the mouth or nose if you block it that pressure needs to go somewhere.
